This book serves to demonstrate the current state of the art in post mortem imaging of the fetus and child. It brings together international leading experts in their respective fields to write about their knowledge and experience, collated in such a manner to allow readers and practitioners to learn either by specific technique, or by presenting circumstance or demographic. The book can be used by technologists, mortuary technicians or bereavement counsellors to explain concepts to parents about how imaging works, as well as by radiologists and pathologists to learn how to report post mortem imaging across a range of circumstances, as might reflect normal clinical practice in a busy referral service. The book deliberately focusses on the complexity of providing a high quality imaging service across the whole spectrum of potential fetal and childhood referrals. The book is divided into three sections: first on imaging techniques (chapters 2–6), then on service delivery and typical imaging findings (chapters 7–10), followed by common referral patterns and an approach to best imaging choices (chapters 11–15). Overall, the book should allow all of the gaps in the reader’s knowledge to be filled, so that the right technique can be offered in the right clinical circumstance, to provide the highest yield possible for both parents and medical practitioners alike.

摘要

This book serves to demonstrate the current state of the art in post mortem imaging of the fetus and child. It brings together international leading experts in their respective fields to write about their knowledge and experience, collated in such a manner to allow readers and practitioners to learn either by specific technique, or by presenting circumstance or demographic. The book can be used by technologists, mortuary technicians or bereavement counsellors to explain concepts to parents about how imaging works, as well as by radiologists and pathologists to learn how to report post mortem imaging across a range of circumstances, as might reflect normal clinical practice in a busy referral service. The book deliberately focusses on the complexity of providing a high quality imaging service across the whole spectrum of potential fetal and childhood referrals. The book is divided into three sections: first on imaging techniques (chapters 2–6), then on service delivery and typical imaging findings (chapters 7–10), followed by common referral patterns and an approach to best imaging choices (chapters 11–15). Overall, the book should allow all of the gaps in the reader’s knowledge to be filled, so that the right technique can be offered in the right clinical circumstance, to provide the highest yield possible for both parents and medical practitioners alike.
